About:
Gravit is a gravity simulator. It uses Newtonian physics using the Barnes-Hut N-body algorithm. Although the main goal of Gravit is to be as accurate as possible, it also creates beautiful looking gravity patterns. It records the history of each particle so that it can animate and display a path of its travels. At any stage you can rotate your view in 3D and zoom in and out. Gravit uses OpenGL, Lua, SDL, SDL_ttf, and SDL_image.

Three thumbs up for the idea! I'm a physics geek turned computers geek, and i always liked this kind of applications.
I didn't try yet to compile it on Linux, but probably i'll try one of these days.
